I do a protein shake every morning. I can take it in the car with me on the way to work and know I get a majority of my protein for the day out of the way.

Hi: antsissy1
                    Thank you for your reply. I am at the beginning of my journey, did the orientation, met with doctor Dr. Roensthal and Thursday 1/19/12 I met with the Nut. I've only met two other patients from C/C. hoping to meet more. You are now three years post-op, did you have many complications / how are you doing now / any regrets ?
Is a teaching hospital not a good place to have WLS ?
Anything that you care to share about WLS will be appreciated.
I'm a newbie to OH so I have many questions and concerns about WLS. One thing I will say, it's that I'm better informed, have made some new friends and i"m having fun reading all the post.
Wishing you the Best always.

Hi,

I don't know where you are in your journey since it is a few months since you posted.  I had my surgery on Dec. 4, 2008 at Cleveland Clinic with Dr. Rosenthal.  It was a wonderful experience.
I had good preop information and their support groups are wonderful.  If I have any complaint at all it is that they are a teaching hospital and I really only saw Dr. Rosenthal one time.  After that I saw a variety of their fellowship doctors.  Once when I had a problem they got Dr. Rosenthal.  I didn't like that too much and as a result I don't go back there for any more follow up. But their staff of dietitians and nurses were very good.

Welcome to Florida. I live in Port Richey. I know quite a few people that have gone to Dr. Small with great success. In fact, one of them is on a featured video. I am still in the beginning stages of the process, however I have emailed back & forth to one of their nurses & she is fantastic. If all the office staff is like that, I'll definitely going to Dr. Small.

Good luck on your move & I promise you'll love Florida!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi butterfly,   I try to think outside of the box for breakfast.  I like turkey bacon or turkey sausage with cheese.  Can you eat cheese?  Also greek yogurt mixed with some fruit.  Sorry you had some complications.  Hope things are looking up.

Welcome to Florida!  I see Dr. Small with Baycare Bariatrics.  He's in the Countryside area but not a difficult drive for you.  I had my surgery in August and have been very happy with him.  Check out this link to their site.  You may find another Dr. there.  http://youtransformed.org/Default.aspx
